Correction, Koalas ARE native to South Australia. Many were wiped out by the fur trade, and restocking from Victoria occurred. But rest assured there were Koalas in SA before European settlement.

There were none on Kangaroo Island at the time of European settlement, although they are represented in the Island's fossil record - possibly from the time when the Island was connected to the mainland. They were re-introduced there in the 1920s, and their numbers need to be controlled because of a lack of predators on that island.
